Bishop Simpson and Drs. Vernon, of Italy; Taylor, of Lexiugton, Ky.; Trumbull, of Ohio, and Monroe par ticipated iu the openiug exercises. Bishop Bowman is chairman. Last week tho Marine National Bank at New York closed. J. D. Fish is president of the bank. The clearing house is considering the sus pension. It is thought tho failure is a bad one. Grant and Ward arc an nounced as closing on accountof tho failure of the bank. The directors 'were in session all afternoon of the 6th. They claim the' bank is solvent and will resume in a few daye. Vice president Elwcll said the trouble was all brought about by the dealing of the bank with the firm of Grant & Ward, involving an indebtedness of $750,000. it being understood the firm would deposit sufficient security the next day to cover the indebtedness, but they failed to make the deposit. Three persons the other night near Charleston, W. V., entered the resi dence of Jack Woods, a farmer living iu that vicinity, for the purpose of robbery. Mr. Woods made an effort to drive the robbers away, but was shot and seriously wounded. His son Albert heard the report and ran into the room and was shot down dead by the robbers. Miss Mary Woods, a daughter, run in with a pistol and shot at the robbers, who ran off. It is supposed that she shot one of the robbers, as blood was seen in the yard afterwards. It is believed that the robbers are the same who robbed ex-Sheriff Atkins, of Boone county, two nights before. Senator Van Wyck's land bill, introuced May 5th is as follows. Like the senator's document? generally it speaks for itself: "Be it enacted, that it shall be un lawful for any person or association of persons not citizens of the United States, or for any corporation or com pany organized under authority of any foreign state, prince or potentate, to acquire from the United States a greater quantity of public land than the individual citizens of the United States arc authorized to enter uuder the settlement and improvements laws thereof, or to acquire, receive or hold by deed, grant, demise or trust hereafter executed a greater quantity of land in the territories of the Uni ted States than 640 acres." A small cyclone visited Rock Is laud, 111., the other day, demolishing a few dwelling houses, unroofing many others and barns and scattering them to the winds. The fair grounds were in the track of the storm, and all its buildings, fences and trees were torn town. Several persons were killed by a shed falling on them at the old fair grounds. Davenport, la., was visited by a cyclone the same af ternoon, blowing down a number of buildings. One person was killed and a number of others badly injured. J. D. Williams, a special police man for circus day at Beatrice, Neb., becoming intoxicated, was removed from duty by Mayor McConnell.

Sherman struck the weapon down. It was discharged, and the ball slight ly wounded Williams in the leg, and he was arrested for shooting with intent to kill, and held in $2,000 bail. The Chicago Herald thinks that at the very outset of the republican na tional convention there will be a keen struggle over the admission of dele gates from Virginia ; that the question will not be settled on principle at all, but on preferences, aud that the tug of war will come between Blaine and Arthur long before a ballot will be taken; that twenty-four delegates is an object to fight for, and that Ma houe is now fighting the same repub lican organization in Virginia that he did four years ago. A serious collision occurred the other day on tho B. & M. just cast of Cedar Creek, Ca6s county, Neb., through a mistaken order. The trains met while rounding a curve. The engineers, firemen and crew saved their lives by jumping. The damage can't now be estimated, but it is very great, several cars being in the river. The viciuity of Cedar Creek has been the scene of more accidents than any single point between Chicago aud Denver. The Buffalo Co. Beacon deprecates the divisions in the republican ranks in that county, aud says that this division appeared in the recent con ventions at Norfolk aud Lincoln. The Beacon concludes with saying, "We "have never received at the hands of "the state conventions any thing but "the trimmings, and with the condi "tion in which the party is in, in the "county, trimmings is about all wo "deserve." McIIucn, who was recently hanged at Cincinnati for the murder of his wife, made a little address to the prisoners in the jail, where he was confined for three years, iu wn ich he stated that three years ago he was light-hearted, without a care, only to have enough to eat and a good time ; that he was cursed with a desire to drink and to that he owed bis present position. It is claimed that a farmer near Pittsburg has made the extraordinary discovery of a method for solidifyiug whiskey, which, when put up in this form, can be carried around in the pocket like a plug of tobacco, and when you want a drink all you have to do is to cut off a small piece and dissolve it in water. It is too con venient "of access already for most drinkers. Hon. E. K. Valentine has iutro duced a bill into the house dividing Nebraska into two judicial districts, that part north of the Platte river to be known as the northern district of Nebraska, the other the southern dis trict of Nebraska, the present judge to be judge of the southern district, and the president authorized to ap? polnt a judge for the northern district John M. Thurston is reported a saying in his speech at Lincoln, "1 expect, after the nomination at Chi cago, to cause Nebraska to roll up a majority of 35,000 or 40,000 for the nominee of the convention." We think there must be some mistake in the report of that speech of Jobn'f, because he is too much of an orator to seem so egotistical. Jesse McCarty was arraigned in the district court at Papillicn the other morning for the murder of Bradford last winter. A jury was finally empaneled in the afternoun, after nearly one hundred names had been rejected. Great interest is man fested in the case. McCarty claims the killing was in self defence. A tomato canner says the cause of poisoning from eating canned tomatoes is this: When the can is opened and only a portiou of the contents removed, the air acts upon the tin and developed the poison. The can should be emptied all at once when opened, and the unused portion put into an earthen vessel. J. W. Strickland, proprietor of the Orlando mills, at Riymond, Lan caster county Neb., mysteriously dis appeared the other night. He went out aud concluded to stny up all night during the high-water aud watch his dam ; as his hat and cane were found ou the bank, it is supposed he fell into the creek aud was drowned. The house one day last week went into committee of the whole on Mor rison's tariff bill, which was discussed by Brown, Townsend, Randall, Black burn, Kassou, and Morrison. At the close of the discussion Converse moved lo strike out the enacting clause, the vote resulting, ayes 150, nays 155. Scott Hill, Brownlow Hill and Charles Spulock, the robbers who shot aud killed Albert Woods and fatally wounded W. J. Woods, at St. Albans, W. Va., a few nights ago, have been caught in the mountains and brought back to St. Albaus. Two hundred men were in pursuit. ibtoiiomtl IojchI. Jlercy. At the meeting of the "Band of Mercy," held at the Episcopal church on Friday evening of last week, the following programme was carried out by the little folks : Singing, "The morning light is breaking, the Band of Mercy coming, will bless all future years." Baud of Mercy ITcws, by the chair mau : There are now in this country over 2,000 Bands, with over 150,000 members, hundreds being added daily. The number of boys and girls of the public schools of Cincinnati belonging to these "bright and happy bands" is over 30,000, of Chicago, or ganized by their superintendent and teachers within the last few weeks, over 40,000. In England the move ment is rapidly spreading under the auspices of the Queen, the Earl of Shaftesbury and others. In Germany and Switzerland these "Jugendlichen Thierschutzvereine" arc hailed with delight as mighty ciyilizing.ievers. A letter from Benj. P. Ware, ouc of tho Directors of the National Hu mane Association, full of beautiful aud touching statements was then read by Chattie Rice. After a short intcrmissiou, Mr. Hammond spoke to the boyB and girls in bis own happy style. His warm-hearted address, teeming with apt illustrations, happy anecdotes and earnest exhortations, wa3 listened to by the little folks with breathless attention. Would that we had more such "gray-haired captains" among us, men who deem it not below their dignity to speak to the children, and who dare to stand up lor truth aud right. We assure you, friend Ham mond, that your fervent "God bless you, children," will reverberate throughout all eternity aud bring fruit "a thousand fold." Selections were also read by Bert Galley, Eddie Ballon and others. Our juvenile Band is anxious to see an organization of grown people,(branch of the National, or State Humane Association,) in order to have some headquarters at which case3 of cruelty which may be witnessed almost daily on our streets, can he reported. Adjourned to moot Friday even ing the 16th inst. Teacher. Keal Kslatc XrausFcrx. Reported for tho Journal for the week ending last Saturday, by Gus. G. Becher & Co : Thomas D. Kobion and wife to F.
